This black goth choker was made in silence. I wasn’t trying to follow a trend. I was working through something, and she came out of it. A little gothic doll with a butterfly body. Quiet but powerful. She’s strange, imperfect, and beautiful in her own way. Just like the women I make for.
Each doll is shaped by hand, one at a time, with hours of care and intention. Her glass pearl forehead, her long titanium steel bead tassels, and her dark gaze all carry weight. Whether you’re getting ready for a Halloween night, a gothic wedding, or just dressing how you really feel, this gothic choker necklace is a reflection of what’s inside. A little haunted. A little sacred.

🖤The Story Behind the Design
I started working on this punk goth choker after a quiet night in my apartment. The power had gone out during a storm, and I was sitting on the floor with just candlelight and my sketchbook. No music, no noise. I drew this strange little goth doll with a butterfly-shaped body and long strands falling from her head. Butterflies are transformation. Dolls are the parts of us we hide. She looked calm but distant. I couldn’t stop thinking about her.
The next day I shaped her in stone clay. I gave her that small glass pearl in the center of her forehead because I had just lost something important and felt like I needed to see things more clearly. It is like a third eye. The beads hanging from her head reminded me of the gothic earrings my best friend used to wear in high school, when we’d sneak out late wearing black eyeliner and borrowed boots.
She’s imperfect, just like us. And that’s what makes her powerful.

📦Order Processing
Every piece is made to order. I don’t pull from shelves. I start making only after you purchase. Most orders ship in 3 to 5 days, sometimes sooner. This is slow art. I work with my hands, not machines.
Care Instructions
- Avoid water: These are not waterproof. Take them off before swimming, showering, or sweating it out.
- Keep them dry: If they get damp, gently wipe them with an alcohol pad and let them fully air dry.
- Store properly: Place in a soft pouch or jewelry box when not in use.
- Be gentle when cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid chemicals. For metal parts, a slightly damp cloth is fine.
- Avoid scratching: Keep them away from sharp edges or rough surfaces.
- No perfumes or lotions: Don’t spray directly or apply cream over them. Let your skin dry first.
- Avoid chemicals and heavy work: Don’t wear while cleaning, doing chores, or handling harsh substances. Sweat, detergents, and friction can damage the finish or cause oxidation over time.
- Even high-quality metals like solid gold, sterling silver, or gold-plated parts may naturally oxidize and darken over time with wear.
🕯️ For You
Believe this: you can be soft, wild, rebellious, and free however you want.
Own your edges. Stay true.
We’re all fighting to keep our fire alive, breaking through the darkness, dreaming our way to freedom.
And no matter what, we shout it loud and clear:
Femininity is power. Women are always beautiful. Always have been, always will be.
NOTE
Each piece is 100% handmade in my home studio. From mixing colors to shaping and detailing, every step is done by hand.
You might notice tiny marks, slight variations, or a bit of asymmetry, that’s part of the charm.
No two are exactly the same. It’s not a flaw, it’s what makes each one unique.
My work is 100% original. If you see similar items elsewhere, they’re not made with the same materials, or the same care. JoyGothic is the only official source.
Final Thought
This goth choker was made for moments when you want to feel seen. Halloween just gives you permission. Whether you’re heading to a Halloween wedding, slipping into your favorite boots for a ghost tour, or just walking through October like it’s your season, this choker is a small way to say who you are without saying a word. Strange. Beautiful. And a little haunted. Not a costume. A calling.
About Me
I’m a deeply emotional and sometimes pessimistic person. Making handmade pieces has been my healing, it’s where I find joy so real that I often lose track of time and forget to eat. I just want to do what I love and support myself, so my prices reflect that balance.
When I first started selling online, I faced a lot of pain from stolen designs and copycats. It was tough. I cried more than once. But the kindness and support from strangers like you kept me going. You’re more than customers, you’re friends I haven’t met yet.
This little shop is a piece of my healing. I hope it brings you a piece of yours, too. Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
